Abstract

In a method for the operation of a magnetic resonance apparatus an anatomical image of a region of an examination subject to be imaged is generated with a prescribable resolution and quality, a functional image of the region to be imaged is generated, the functional image is superimposed on the anatomical image, and at least one area of the region to be imaged wherein the functional image contains unreliable information is identified in the superimposition.
